In "Gift from Space," Woody Woodpecker faces a parched Dry Valley where water is more expensive than ever, prompting him to complain about the steep prices. When an unexpected gift arrives from outer space, it promises to change everything—much to the dismay of Skagly, the landowner who sees his water monopoly in danger. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Joe Messerli, this 1978 Western Comics classic features a whimsical twist on scarcity, with Messerli’s distinctive art bringing the cosmic surprise to life on a cover he also penciled.
